To Learn To Love - v2

[Verse 1] I was chosen for my beauty, not for anything I'd done, A girl too fair for mortal men, too dangerous to love, They led me to a mountain's edge and left me to the dark, A bride for something nameless, waiting somewhere far above. He came to me in shadow, and he asked me not to see, Only to trust the warmth of him, the voice, the touch, the wing, And for a while I lived on faith alone, and it was enough for me, Until my sisters whispered doubt into everything. [Pre-Chorus] And doubt — it never asks if you were happy where you stood, It creeps in like a small dark flame beneath a door, Promising you'll finally see, when all you'll lose is everything you had before. [Chorus] I lit the lamp too soon, and saw the god I wasn't meant to see, Beautiful and burning, bent low in his sleep beside me, But the oil spilled, and woke him, and the wing pulled away from grace, Now I wander every kingdom of the earth to find his face, Not to beg forgiveness for the light I couldn't help but crave, But to prove that even mortal hands can climb their way to heaven's gate. Oh, I was born to lose him first, to learn to love. [Verse 2] They set me tasks no mortal girl was ever meant to carry, Sorting grains as small as grief, descending into hell, Every trial was a mirror of the night I broke his trust, Every ashes made the shape of what I couldn't tell. But something in me hardened into wings I didn't know I had, Not the borrowed kind that flew away when I was left alone, No — the kind that's grown from walking through the fire, going mad, The kind you earn when everything you loved becomes your own. [Pre-Chorus] And love — it never waits for you to prove that you deserve it whole, But what survives the trials is entirely yours to keep, And in the ashes of the girl I was, something eternal starts to grow. [Chorus] I lit the lamp too soon, and saw the god I wasn't meant to see, Beautiful and burning, bent low in his sleep beside me, But the oil spilled, and woke him, and the wing pulled away from grace, Now I wander every kingdom of the earth to find his face, Not to beg forgiveness for the light I couldn't help but crave, But to prove that even mortal hands can climb their way to heaven's gate. Oh, I was born to lose him first, to learn to love. [Bridge] I am not the girl who broke the dark with one small trembling flame, I am not the ghost of every trial I was given for my shame, I am the one who walked through hell and carried back the light, I am the mortal thing that learned to earn her wings in flight. A wild, unfinished creature who was never meant to rise, A soul too stubborn to be lost, too fierce to compromise, For the love that survives the fire, and the fall, and the descent Is the only kind of grace that I will ever call my own. [explosion and few seconds of build up] [Chorus - full power, ecstatic] I lit the lamp too soon, and saw the god I wasn't meant to see, Beautiful and burning, bent low in his sleep beside me, But the oil spilled, and woke him, and the wing pulled away from grace, Now I wander every kingdom of the earth to find his face, Not to beg forgiveness for the light I couldn't help but crave, But to prove that even mortal hands can climb their way to heaven's gate. Oh, I was born to lose him first, to learn to love.
